Hi Tracy, Yes, Voiceover is always on the iPhone. Actually, Sonos is really a self-contained system although you can play music that is on your iPhone. Because Sonos itself is connected to the internet via your router and works independently, there is no battery drain. Once you start a station playing you can exit the app, you could even turn off your iPhone and the stream will continue to play. The app really is just a remote control for the Sonos system. It is also no problem to play different streams in different rooms or zones. If you play Pandora in the bedroom and somebody else in your family is in the living room and they have an iPhone or other controller, they can select the living room zone and play whatever they want there. If they want to group say the living room and the kitchen and listen to Songsa then that is also completely independent from you listening to Pandora in the bedroom.

Does voiceover speech remain on the device, or is it sent to the Sonos speakers? 2. How does it work with multiple devices. Say I am using Sonos to listen to Pandora, when I'm done, is it easy for another household member to use their device to use Sonos for Songza? 3. How do you find battery drainage? Say you are streaming internet radio via Sonos for 3 hours, what sort of battery drop do you see?

The recently-updated app for iOS is now beautifully accessible. By "beautifully" I really mean what I say.

Just to make sure you are aware, the Spotify account will have to be premium in order to be usable with Sonos.
